Ok, already! We get it! Too high fat content = health catastrophe, disaster, apocaplyse, etc. Do you have to make your displeasure clear on each and every recipe that doesn't meet your standards. Can't we just look at a recipe and decide for ourselves if it's too high in fat content, then how to lower it for our own consumption? As written, as well as with my particular modifications to lower the fat content, the recipe is great!
